Bex, I have also recently fallen for Maeve. it seems very glamourous in an understated way.

---

also may-vee is a great nn and you wouldn't even have to change the spelling.

---

Maeve Charlotte is a great combo.
Isobel Enid has a certain ring to it, but Enid isn't really my style. I do love Isobel though.

---

Hamish and Eamonn are good names. what do you think of Seamus? I've like that name since I heard the name of Irish poet Seamus Heaney.

Maeve is a beautiful name! Maeve Charlotte makes a wonderful combo : )

---

Hamish seems a tad bit out of place to me in the sibset.

---

Wouldn't Isobel be confusing for you to use since your niece is Isabella? Perhaps not though, either way it's a lovely name ; )

---

Maeve Charlotte - Very pretty.
Hamish Duncan - I'm not crazy about either name, but it's a very nice combo.
Isobel Enid - Love this.
Eamonn Angus - Don't like Eamonn, but I would like the combo more if the names were reversed.

Maeve Charlotte is gorgeous, very pretty. Hamish Duncan is very handsome as well. Eamonn Angus is okay. They're both nice names, but not my style. Isobel Enid is nice but Isabel/Isabelle/Isobel seems to be all the rage right now.

ETA: I just thought of Ishbel, which is a Scottish form of Isobel, if you're worried about popularity. I very rarely hear Ishbel.

Maeve is a darling name. On the whole you have wonderful taste. Angus is one of my favourites.

Maeve is very elegant, to my surprise. It's never been on my "list" of favorites, but it does sound fresh today, doesn't it? I do really like Mae as well, which might be why Maeve is suddenly sounding good.
Maeve Charlotte is singular and classy (I don't think Charlotte is really as popular in the "real world" as it seems on this board). I like Isobel and Eamonn as well.

I love Maeve, Duncan, Isobel and Eamonn.

Suggestions: Conall, Declan, Ciara, Cian, Donovan, Fiona, Davina (not many on here like it but I do), Caitriona/Catriona.

I really like Maeve. Maeve Charlotte is a lovely combo that is well balanced. I don't know if I'd use the nickname Mae, but either way, it works!

---

Hamish isn't my thing, but I like Duncan in the middle name spot.
Isobel Enid is pretty; I love Isobel spelled this way.
Eamonn Angus don't flow as well as it could, but I really like Eamonn. It's a pity my husband actively dislikes it!

---

Overall, I think it would make a very lovely sibset. I do love Caspian though and I wouldn't be sad to see it "subbed in" for Hamish!

Maeve is a lovely name. I like Maeva as well. Hamish is nms, but it sounds nice with Maeve, Isobel, and Eamonn. I'm pressed for time, but I'll suggest several names: Iris, Ivy, Malcolm, and Colm.

I'd prefer Angus Eamonn to Eamonn Angus. Maeve and Charlotte I love, Hamish is really nice and Angus is alright.

LOVE Maeve! It is so pretty! And I think that sounds like a great sibset, I really like all the names.
Even though those names aren't unusual here, I don't think any of them, except Charlotte are common, and Charlotte is a mn so I don't think it is a problem.
